An Evening with Nol Putnam
Wednesday, March 25
7:30pm
Free, RSVP here
Books will be available for purchase at the event.
Ironwork adorns Washington National Cathedral, as it does many great buildings. From massive gates and grilles to delicate chandeliers, crosses, and liturgical embellishments, ironwork graces, enhances, and speaks. The hands of a master ironworker transform this rigid material into fluid shapes: leaves, flowers, people, animals, and—here—biblical stories.
Nol Putnam’s work joins that of Samuel Yellin and many other artisans in the National Cathedral. Putnam’s new book, Beauty in the Shadows: Wrought Iron in Washington National Cathedral, catalogs this collection with insightful descriptions and beautiful photographs by Cathedral volunteers Chris Budny and Jim Pittman and contributions by researcher and docent Barry Bem.
Join Nol Putnam for the Cathedral launch of his book and an insider’s look at wrought iron. You’ll gain new insight into this ancient craft and art form.
